Another Green(-ish) World: The Best of the Geneva Motor Show

While hybrids and fuel-sippers take up more of the Swiss mega-exhibition every year, that doesn't mean there weren't a few show-stoppers—roof-less Lamborghini, anyone? Jamie Lincoln Kitman breaks down the highlights

Kicking off a new campaign to reduce our carbon footprint—which coincided with not a single carmaker's inviting us to attend this year's Geneva auto show—Jamie Lincoln Kitman is filing this report from the banks of the mineral-rich Hudson River. Could somebody pass the pinot, petits fours, and the potassium iodide pills?

Lamborghini Aventador J

Even though the phrase "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" is probably past its expiration date, you needn't bother asking Lamborghini even if you can afford something this insane, because it's already too late. Only one Aventador J will ever be produced, and it's sold, for $2.75 million, to someone who knew when to ask. Harkening back to the golden era of bespoke automobiles in its exclusivity and performance, this madman's machine has no roof, radio, or windows to go with its 691-horsepower, 6.5-liter V12. No jacket is required, but let's hope shoes and shirt are part of the ensemble. And a helmet might not hurt, either.
